    charming building
    freezing bathroom
    bright hallway

    historic building charm, unique room features, spacious clean rooms

    The bathroom was akin to an ice block without a fan, which was quite uncomfortable!!! The hallway lights illuminating the night were a tad distracting through the doors, leading to some unwanted brightness!!! Kids found the sofa bed not super comfortable!!!

    Perfect for a short escape

    Had a real nice time at this charming spot. The staff was genuinely helpful, making check-in smooth and welcoming. The cared about their job and it showed.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but for the quality, it felt acceptable.

    uncomfortable room
    poor service

    oh, and the bathroom? freezing, without any fan. I simply expected some sort of welcome gift to make up for such inconveniences, but I guess that's too much for this place to handle.

    street noise
    limited air conditioning

    I truly appreciated the beautiful old features of The Rex Hotel Porto, especially the charming terrace in my Comfort Double Room with views over the gardens. The breakfast was delightful, with a variety of fresh pastries and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming.

    Some noise from the street at night.

    long walk
    street noise

    I stayed in the Superior Double Room with a terrace for 5 nights, and it was so nice! The room was super clean and spacious. The terrace was perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. The air conditioner worked great, which is always a win. Just keep in mind the walk to the riverfront is about 20 minutes, so wear comfy shoes!

    I really enjoyed my 5-night stay in the superior room with a terrace. The space was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning worked great. There were fresh pastries available all day, and the location was close to fun spots, even if it was a bit of a walk to the riverfront. Overall a solid experience! 🍷

    terrace relaxation
    noisy window
    distant riverfront

    The stay was just what I needed to explore Porto. I loved the spacious and comfortable superior room with the terrace where I could unwind after a day of walking. It was also a nice touch to have fresh pastries available throughout the day. While it was a bit of a trek to the riverfront, I found myself situated close to multiple attractions like the iconic Clerigos Tower. Just be mindful of the walk back, especially at night.

    Charming old hotel with great atmosphere

    I absolutely loved the charm of this old hotel, especially the beautiful plasterwork on the ceilings and the spacious rooms. The location was perfect for exploring Porto. we could easily walk to major sights and felt safe at night. The staff were genuinely nice and helpful, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. However, I do think they could improve their breakfast options a bit as they were quite limited.

    Just a good match for a stopover in Porto with decent value for money. I appreciated the friendly staff who made check-in easy and welcoming. Remember to request a room further from the street for a quieter stay.

    cozy room
    clean facilities
    great terrace
    street noise

    We had a cozy stay in the Grand Deluxe Double Room with our kiddo. The large room was clean and offered a beautiful terrace where we enjoyed relaxing evenings. Breakfast was good, and the powerful shower was a fantastic perk!

    In my wife's opinion, the noise from the street made it hard for us to sleep well.

    delicious breakfasts
    climbing road

    Spacious rooms with lovely Victorian ceilings and exceptionally friendly staff! 🎉 Enjoyed delicious breakfasts with endless fresh pastries. It's a cozy retreat close to major attractions, yet away from the tourist crowds.

    A bit of a climb back from the center could be tiring after a long day exploring. Also, having a stirring utensil for tea would be a nice touch!

    spacious bathroom

    Just a solid selection for a hurried visit in Porto with attractive and competitive value for money. The bathroom was spacious and comfortable. Be aware of the walk back from the city center. it can be a bit tiring, especially at night.
